Nvidia GeForce Now cloud gaming service reaches beta status on PC

Like hipster filters for your PC games.

The update improves support for specific games, includes fixes, and patches The Spectre variant 2 security issue. Users can install Steam games not in the list, but such titles can't use the service's express installation feature and must be installed before each session, a process that Nvidia says can take up to 30 minutes. Better yet, implementing them will be as simple as any other in-game graphics setting, as Freestyle will implement these effects into the game overlay, so they'll only ever be a single keyboard command away. For the time being, the beta service is free and includes games from a number of digital storefronts, including the newly-added Ubisoft Uplay.

As mentioned, the games are processed and rendered remotely at one of Nvidia's many server sites scattered around Europe and the United States, and provide a graphical output similar to that of the company's GTX 1080 graphics card. The new features will be available in the company's GeForce Experience software on January 9th - just be sure to enable "Experimental Features" to see them.

It's important to mention that to get these updates, you'll have to update your Nvidia Drivers to at least version 390.0 and download the new GeForce Experience 3.12 application. These are created to enable you to get more creative with your games.

The public beta is now available in North America and Europe, and you can see the full list of compatible games - which includes PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Fortnite, Hearthstone, Call of Duty: WWII, Battlefront II and over a hundred others - right here on Nvidia's website. The driver informs users with pop-ups if an eGPU has been connected or disconnected.

Fixed artifacts appearing in Gamestream on GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, Titan X and Titan XP devices. Nvidia claims there are "a total of 15 filters with 38 different settings".

[SLI][GeForce GTX 780 Ti]: There is no display output when connecting the DisplayPort and two DVI monitors.

[Kepler GPUs][StarWars Battlefront II]: The system hangs when launching the game in DirectX 12 API mode.
